What we do

Each year CRC hosts a number of events. At our day conferences, usually in Spring and Autumn, we invite pioneer thinkers or practitioners from around the world to share their wisdom and experience. Previous speakers include leading biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, and environmentalists such as Marcus Borg, Dominic Crossan, Richard Holloway, Eley McAinsh, Tariq Ramadan, Nicola Slee, Jack Spong, Adrian Thatcher, Martyn Percy, Ann Pettifor, Rowan Williams and Kathy Galloway.

We also arrange Seminar & Library Evenings when innovative voices introduce timely topics before contributing to the ensuing debate. Recent topics include: ’Being Gay in Church, ‘Mindfulness and Compassion’; Disability and the Church and Paganism.

Recently we received a grant from the Jim Cotter Trust Fund to curate and create materials which would serve to broaden the understanding of different approaches to spirituality and which would also assist with modernising interpretations of religious materials to improve understanding and relevance.
